This box series was first sold in cash shop for 250 Gold from Sep 26, 2011 to Feb 01, 2012. The weapon (Raiden's Angel) and costume (Quinzel's Penderie) drops are as listed below for quick reference. See the links for details and screenshots. Raiden's Angel boxes are also available in The Seeker of Wisdom - Alphabet Event. I will post a compilation of other boxes another day.

G1 has introduced a new event last week. Basically, monsters from all maps has a chance of dropping Alphabet Box (tradable). Opening the box will drop a random alphabet item (non-tradable) at equal rate. The event NPC in Reboldeaux will ask for 3 words (5 alphabets each). Completing each word gives one reward (player's choice), including Diamond Token (non-tradable) and Pose Book 11. Diamond Tokens can be used to buy special rewards, which will be changed over the course of the event. See The Seeker of Wisdom - Alphabet Event for more details.

According to G1-Raiden here, "The event is supposed to sustain itself for months." So there is no end-date for the event yet, but it can be expected to last a long time (while G1 struggles with game update). The funny thing is that this event encourages AFK, and actually kills off interest in raiding. But overall, I still think it is a good event. There is still no news on the next version update. I just hope that this event isn…

IMC has released a new update preview - 업데이트 미리보기 - 브리스티아 1차 업데. The pioneers are returning to Orpesia, because ironically the New World is just getting old. But really... why do we care about new updates when G1 cannot even update the game?

According to 유럽 MMO가뭄에 '그라나도에스파다' 폭풍 예고!, IMC Games has signed a publishing agreement with RNTS Media GmbH, allowing them to set a new Granado Espada for Europe region. RNTS Media GmbH is the division of RNTS Media that focus on online game service and app publishing. (See RNTS Media Organization.) The article also mentions they are preparing for the end of the year.

So what does this mean for GamersFirst? Currently, Sword 2 is usually labeled as NA/EU (North American/European Union) service, as one of the 3 active servers is running in GMT time zone.

We know G1 is having contract issues with IMC, but any further information is kept from the player base. So in the light of IMC-RNTS agreement, what exactly is happening with G1? Did G1 lose the right to publish the game for Europe? Or did they have the license for only North America to begin with? As usual, G1 is still hushing things up. It is probably best if players can hear official statements directly from G1, instead of fin…

The login server had some problems again, causing login failures with "wrong ID or password" errors. See here for forum topic on the issue. Sadly, returning to quarters will also trigger the failure, and we got locked out after finishing a raid. The same problem happened 4 months ago (see here).
